Hello newbies! Welcome to Tolkien Online! I am bloomgirl06, but you can call me bloomgirl or even just bloom. My other name (usually used in role-playing) is Imbrethilien (Imby). I hope you all have fun while you're here, and I'll be available to answer any questions you have about the site. If there is anything I can't help you with, the Mods (moderators) are around to help.

Here's some information about me:I live in the U.S., but I was born in Germany. I'm half Dutch, and can also speak Dutch, but I can't write it very well. I have been a member of TORC since March 2003. Some of the threads I frequent are the Orlando/Legolas Swooning Thread (great fun, if any of you are fans of his), the Harry Potter One-Liner Trivia game, The Next Alliance of Beautiful and Hot Elves, The Temple of the Plushies, and, of course, my Conversation Corner (see link in my signature). If you have any questions, you can ask me.

I really hope all the newbies have fun at Tolkien Online! I'm here to help, and I'll do my best!

HA, Nim, and GE: Thanks, you guys! I have no n00bs yet, but I'm hoping they'll show up soon.
Nim, play nice. I'm in charge here. HA, my dad's from Washington. I want to visit there sometime. I like the rain, so I think Seattle would suit me nicely. ((hugs)) to Luthy and GE. Cross your fingers for me! I hope I get some newbies soon!

I think less people are joining now that the movies are all out, because people just aren't as interested. Hopefully we'll get some more when the EE DVD comes out. *Crosses finger.*

I'm sorry I haven't produced any noobs yet. Wait, I have one possibility!

Ok, I think I have someone who's probably going to join. I'll try to guide her to here. I apollogize in advance if she thinks she doesn't even need adopting. She can be a bit stubborn sometimes, but it's the best I can do.

Thanks for trying, MPT! I hope your friend will come.
I think you're right. More people came when the movies were out. I hope the EE will do it!
Thanks, Luthy. That makes me feel better. I cornered about three n00bs last week, but it doesn't seem like they need to be adopted. I actually wasn't adopted, either, and I'm doing okay. But I think I would have gotten the rules down a little better if I had been adopted.

Hi, I'm new. Adopt me. Heh, that's what my friend told me to post. It's true, though, I am new. I'm kinda being guided by a friend, but I really don't know what this site is all about. Ummm... *Consults list of things to do* Explain my name? Tindomiel I got from the family tree of someone, from the Unfinished Tales. Mornie utulie means darkness has come. Thought it was interesting.

Ok, upon reading back through the rest of the posts, I notice that my friend, "Master of Pointy Things", discussed me at one point. I apologize in advance too, I am sort of stubborn, but so is MPT. He's been pestering me for a week and a half now, so please pat him on the back for finding you a newbie. *Rolling eyes* Goodness knows he worked hard enough.

Yay! I have a newbie! Thanks, MPT!
Welcome to TORC, Tindomiel!!! If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them, though if MPT is helping you, you might not have that many. I usually come on TORC at least once a day, but sometimes it's hard. I'll do my best to help you, and I hope you have fun at TORC!!!!!

Thanks a bunch!
I don't really have anything else to say at the moment, and I don't want to spam, so I guess I'll just ramble on until I have enough written for it not to count as spam because I don't want to set a bad example for my n00bs! Okay, I think that's long enough. Bye!

I'm really sorry to say this, but I don't think she's coming back... I asked her if she was going to post again and she said she only joined because I wanyed her to, which was fairly pointless. I just don't think she's quite the TORC type anyway.

Don't worry I'm not finished yet, I'll find you a good noob if it's the last thing I do. *Thinks: now who else would be interested?*

That's okay, MPT. She didn't seem to interested anyway because she never answered my posts. You don't have to find someone else, but if you really want to, go ahead. Maybe I'll get some new ones on their own...
